Update on my Colony

Well... this morning I ended up removing one of the males like suggested :cheers: However I was a little late before there was any damage.

I noticed yesterday that Patch the Black and White mouse was awake all day eating and running the wheel, I joked that he was pumping up to be the boss, well I was right, this morning I saw him chasing after Austin the Orange and White mouse and he had actually chewed off one of his balls :eek1: So I removed him this morning and figured I'll let Patch have his Herem, and we'll keep Austin as a pet, I have him set up in an empty lego box for now, but when the husband gets home were going to buy him a fun little mousie habitat. :rolleyes:

I switched the bedding of my breeder mice to pine and hay mix and it smells OH so much nicer!

Next... the wait for some little pinkies to start dropping :crazy02:
 
sorry to hear that about Austin, poor little guy. but just as a suggestion i think you should try to keep at least 1 female with him. mice are very sociable animals and can get depressed if kept alone.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I'll pick out a woman for him. :cheers:
 
That WOULD be awesome :crazy02: He's the cutest of the bunch, poor little man. He washed it up good and its looking ok, however he does have quite an open wound on the underside of his nut area :cry:
 
I ended up with a longhair mouse in my first colony that wouldn't let me see if it was male or female. I finally decided it was a female and in it went. A few days later that "female" had been scalped. the dominate male had managed to pull all the skin and fur up exposing the tissue underneath from balls to shoulders and left a gaping hole in the poor guys posterior. I felt bad for him so he got his own place until he healed up, then got a harem of his own. never slowed him down.
